Individual attacks

In my opinion threats can be divided in 2 groups:expected and unexpected.The expected threats are the ones that we are aware of and somehow try to stay protected from them.It can be either threat of war or social and environmental threats.And the other is unexpected,which is attack by the representative of some terroristic organization or just by psychologically damaged person. The reason why i brought up this idea is that I am really concerned about the attacks by psychologically damaged persons which end with death of several number of people depending on the case.This can be people who were just inside their daily routine or going to cinema.This kind of threat is unexpected because as we can follow from the latest cases (for example bombing of government buildings in Oslo end with killing of 8 people and killing of 69 students in youth camp by Anders Breivik) even in the countries where one thinks that he is quite in safe one can be attacked or killed. I noticed that this issue was especially pointedly felt in the US.After a several attacks by different persons that ended with death of tens of people the president suggested to tighten the gun law in order to prevent this and to protect people.Obama suggested to conduct a law that will forbid to sell guns without checking their psychological state.Despite of everything that happened this law did not pass in congress. The thing is that ideally states are concerned about personal security of each individual.Therefore it can't be said that this kind of attacks is fully unexpected.However as we see in reality most of the governments improve security measures only after the attacks.This is very sad because someone had to pay the price in order to remind the governments of possible threat. The solutions can be that every city should have its own proper-working security branch or organization together with...

...Salami Attack
A salami attack is when small attacks add up to one major attack that can go undetected due to the nature of this type of cyber crime. It also known as salami slicing/penny shaving where the attacker uses an online database to seize the information of customers, that is bank/credit card details, deducting minuscule amounts from every account over a period of time. These amounts naturally add up to large sums of money that is unnoticeably taken from the collective accounts. Most people do not report the deduction, often letting it go because of the amount involved. This could be a fraction of a cent, so as to avoid suspicion from the unsuspecting customer states Raj B Lon sane.
The victims that take the fall for such acts are usually bank holders, and websites that store account information like PayPal. It can be quite scary to have amounts disappear in large portions at once, making it a onetime incident for the company. Raj B Lon sane states that the amount of money that is then lost cannot be replaced by the company, leading them to take on court battles without the money to replace what is lost. Therefore for an insider to do this on a regular basis, he/she deducts money slyly in small quantities without having the customer in question, take notice.

...introduced to the horrifying experience of a gas attack in World War I. Owen goes into excruciating detail on every effect of the gas, and describes almost everything about the physical state of the infected, dying man. Thousands of soldiers were exposed to gas in the war, and unfortunately, many of them died from the effects. The first attack that the Germans unleashed on the allies was devastating. Over 5000 soldiers were killed with many more incapacitated (Christianson 30). While the attack was detrimental to the strength in numbers of the group, the effect reduced the psychological strength of the group as well, striking terror into the hearts of the soldiers. Overall, Wilfred Owen was accurate in his depiction of a World War I gas attack on a group of soldiers.
From the very beginning of the poem, the soldiers are shown to be exhausted from the war. They are “Bent double, knock kneed, march[ing] asleep, [and] drunk with fatigue” (Owen 1). Clearly the reader can see the exhausted soldiers pushing on through the fields of mud and clay. All of a sudden, gas shells fall behind the men and the deathly green cloud slowly began to overtake the men. By the time the men realized what was happening, only some were able to apply their masks in time. From this point on, the description of the infected soldier begins. After the horrific description of the effects of the poison, the author tells the readers that if they had...

Fire Attack: Offensive vs. Defensive
Structural firefighting can be very dangerous and can put the lives of firefighters in situations were their decision can end up being very detrimental. History has proven when the wrong choices were made, and lives and properties were lost. From past structural events the choice of choosing the wrong attack could end up being in the papers and going to funerals for firefighters. That’s why choosing the correct fire tactic is so important. Offensive versus defensive tactics need to be made by competent personnel early and evaluated often, to ensure safety and structural stability is still intact. There are pros and cons for offensive and defensive attacks. That is why command will have to continue sizing–up the situation periodically throughout the emergency to ensure there are no progressions in the fire. Safety is the most important aspect of choosing between offensive or defensive attacks. What it all boils down to is, is an offensive attack better than a defensive attack or vise versa? The need for both attack methods is vital. There are times when one attack method is better than the other. Command or the first arriving engine has important decisions to make on which attack to do, hopefully they make the correct one for everybody’s safety and property.

...﻿Punished by Acid
Several people from the third world become a victim of an acid attack. The victim’s life has changed tremendously, which is what the photographer shows with his world-known pictures. On Ebrahim Noroozi’s photoseries you see a mom named Somayeh and her daughter, Rana and what acid has done to their faces. Now they most stay by themselves and take care of themselves.
It is hard for me to understand some people will walk up to you to pour acid on you. Somayeh looked like an average citizen before she got attacked. That time she was living with her daughter and husband who told her she would not look like herself, if she got divorced. His threat was serious since he threw acid on her and her daughter’s body. Today both girls look inhuman to a normal looking person. Since 18 months ago when the acid attack happened, their life have been in danger, and they are still fighting. The victim’s skin look deeply burned, and if that is the case, they are very predisposed to diseases. It is easy to become sick when they live at a farm in a poor environment. Everything looks sad in the pictures, so you wonder if they have any hope left.
Somayeh socialized with people before the attack. Somayeh’s has changed tremendously from the picture before the attack till now and so has her daugher’s condition. Rana wears a glass eye, and she covers the other eye she is missing with her hat. Rana is holding hands...

...Individual behavior differs from person to person and most differences are based on the background of the individual. Some elements that can affect ones background to influence their individual behavior can include religion, age, occupation, values and attitude differences, gender, and even ethnicity. These individual behaviors can cause people to act differently to situations and can create friction or even chemistry in the work place.
The age of a person can be a large factor in the way they behave. There are studies that prove maturity can come at different ages but in most cases maturity is something that is learned and grown into. Age in a work place can work against someone or for them. A young age can be a downfall if there is lack of maturity and experience and old age can be a downfall due to lack of energy or knowledge of new technologies. With that being said I think that it is important that age should not be the deciding factor as to how someone will act. There are many young people who have the maturity to carry many responsibilities and show good individual behavior. Some older individuals have adapted their behavior to fit more suitable into the technologies that have developed over the past few years. More and more people are on Facebook (www.facebook.com) than ever, and it is common to see individuals of all ages on the popular website. You can also...
